### ⭐⭐⭐ Demasiadas imagenes no originales, decepciona un poco.
*by  on Reviewed in Mexico 12 November 2025*

No es un mal libro, pero para quien desea ver y disfrutar de imagenes y graficos originales de epoca esto se ve demeritado por la apabullante cantidad y gigantescas ilustraciones nuevas elboradas especificamente para la publicacion presentadas casi siempre a pagina o doble pagina completa, y no es que sean malas ilustraciones, pero definitivamente no tienen el sabor e interes que ilustraciones originales de epoca, las cuales se ven reducidas a simples botoncitos infimos sin presencia ni tamaño adecuado. Esto es muy decepcionante por lo que se tiene que ver el libro con lupa.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pearl in my collection!
*by  on Reviewed in Germany 13 October 2022*

I have lots of books, video’s, dvdks and bluerays of my favourite horror films.. the films with the incredible boris karloff, lon chaney, christopher lee and vincent price. This book contains beautiful posters .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poster child for...
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 1 February 2026*

I bought this as a bday gift for a girl I dated who loves horror. I seem to remember she liked it and I flipped through it and it was cool. This was two years ago. I've learned since that if they ever do another edition, she deserves her own chapter.
